With this workshop session we continue our work to understand and connect fundamental concepts.
The complexities of the Earth system are built upon some basics of physical science. We will spend several sessions exploring fundamental concepts such as density, pressure, heat and heat transfer, and making the conceptual connections to the applied Earth system. The greater context can serve to both engage a learner in the fundamental ideas while also providing a larger background for great extension activities in which those fundamentals can be applied later on.
This session will focus on the concepts of Heat, Temperature, and Energy Transfer and how they relate to the circulation of the ocean and atmosphere, seasonal change, the heat budget of Earth system, and climate stability.
For background reading on some of the concepts, go to the links listed here.
